Saya

This is Saya, a member of a race I call the Kin - a sort of unicorn-people with three forms - human, unicorn, and a kind of halfbreed that you see above. She's a sweetheart, even if she is occasionally annoyingly chipper and slightly spoiled. She enjoys breaking rules and tormenting Rufus, who you can find an old version of somewhere in my gallery. Anyway, Saya and Rufus are two of my characters in a multi-author story I'm involved in, which can be read here: http://www.geocities.com/carrie_lewisca/Romance.html
Now that the explanantion is out of the way - I combined a couple of coloring techniques on this one - I used cel schading, ALOT of blur, and some layer tricks - and I'm fairly happy with how it turned out, which isn't bad for a picture I almost quit on. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome and muchly appreciated. And hey, check it out - background!! Cheap and lazy background, but it's a start. :D
